8 years of shelling by Ukrainian troops of territories that did not recognize the Nazi coup D'etat in 2014 with numerous casualties among civilians (14.000 people died). Shelling was carried out mainly non- military infrastructure facilities and villages in the hope of making life there unbearable and encouraging the local population to leave this territory. Their argument (words from a video from a Ukrainian soldier in a trench) is that there are no pro- Ukrainian residents there, pro-Ukrainian people have already left for Ukraine they are separatist, you can kill. All these steps, fatal for Ukraine were made under the influence of Western countries and led the war. Russia made all diplomatic overtures to prevent such a development of events. Minsk agreements ( these are concrete steps to resolve the conflict within Ukraine between the new UN resolution of February 17, 2015 No. S/ RES /2202(2015) adopted for mandatory execution) ignored by Ukraine. In December 2021, Russia send Requests to NATO and the US to ensure security for Russia- refusal from NATO and refusal from the US. The question is closed. Russia acted not just logically, but super logically- it began the process of denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine in order to stop all threads. I think the US would not even bother to do so in such a situation and carried out such a thing even if there was a hint of threat. I draw this conclusion on the basis of all the pretexts for starting all military operations on the parts of the US over the past 60 years (and if you dig deeper you can unearth more than one case of far- fetched US military intervention in military conflicts around the world). Everyone remembers about 836(!!!!!!) US military bases around the world?836 Carl!!!. And already in mid-April 2022, in his interview with the BBC, Zelensky said that the country had begun preparing for a clash with Russia since December 2021. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed his(?) plans. According to him, Kyiv was preparing for clashes with Russia long before Moscow announced the start of a special operation. Judging by the state of the Ukrainian army and Zelensky's lack of independence, plans to start a war with Russia came from abroad. " We started this war even earlier", the head of the Ukrainian state said, referring to the beginning of the special operation of the Russian Federation. Thus, he indirectly admits his guilt in inciting the conflict with Russia. Zelensky called pumping Ukraine with Western weapons part of the preparation for the upcoming conflict. At the same time, in addition to public agreements with the US and NATO, Kyiv also conducted closed negotiation with them regarding military assistance. " We non-publicly agreed on certain supplies", ' the President of Ukraine admits in the same interview. This interview of the President of Ukraine, given by the BBC, interested Russian Investigators. Zelensky inadvertently blabbed about what he should have kept quiet about. The head of the Investigative Committee of Russia Alexander Bastrykin instructed to check the words of Zelensky. He believes that the statements of the Ukrainian leader may fall under the article on planning and preparing an aggressive war. Thus, we can conclude that Zelensky's curators are striving to create such conditions in Ukraine that are guaranteed to draw Russia into a military conflict. And the brother will begin to kill the brother ( historically, this is one people). This is ideal in the eyes of US. With his statement, he only confirm what Russian politicians and experts have always said: NATO was preparing Ukraine for war with Russia. That is, in fact, Zelensky framed his curators. Further more interesting. In April 2022 the US Congress approved the supply of weapons to Ukraine through Lend Lease, but this proposal was submitted for consideration( attention here!). January 19, 2022- almost a month before the start of Russia's special military operations. After all, than no one could predict the development of events. That is, the West was very interested in drawing Russia into the conflict, and he was preparing for this. Everything had already been calculated and the West was sure that Russia would intervene in response to military operations against the Donbass. Ukraine had to start. But Russia preempted it by only a few days,( judging from the documents that Russia got from the Ukrainian headquarters). Thus, many lives of civilians were saved." -R H 😎

In his combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan he never felt he was in a fight worth fighting, and now he is just over the border from a fight that he thinks is worth the risk and sacrifice of fighting, and he can't get in it.
@@pdoylemi Rangers - Lead the way ! 👍👍👍 thanks to the men and women through out history willing to stand in the breech against evil and for the protection of those in peril ❤
Wow, I didn't imagine a twelve minute cartoon could be that hilarious and yet so touching at the same time. Santa's dramatic "I don't need weapons to defeat YOU." had some serious end of a Gundam series vibes to it. Plus, we got the best "...is potato" of all time! Amazing.
My brother and his two sons are spending their Christmas helping at a shelter for Ukrainian women and their kids. The women have to find information, make plans for the next step and then get the documents they need and all the resources they can muster to take that step. Meanwhile, the children are at the shelter, confused, missing Daddy and wishing Mom was with them. I’m proud of my guys choosing to be with those kids, trying to keep spirits bright while they can. So grateful for a cartoon that reminds us that when we start thinking about what Putin’s war is costing us, we need to remember what he’s costing those kids.
Your brother and his two boys are true heroes. You must be very proud of them. I may just be a stranger but I hope you will please tell them for me how very proud I am of the work they are doing and then I think they are amazing human being who deserve all the good in the world to come to them. Tell them to keep up the good work for sure. And those Ukrainian women... Never have I seen strength like they display just holding their family together. May the end of this war come quickly and may every soul that is on the side of good be blessed!
Well, here and abroad, we've fallen in love with Ukraine. The struggle there reminds us that freedom is fragile, and that lust for power rarely sleeps. My cousin is an expat who fell in love and joined his wife there, and sadly, he had to flee. They're future is uncertain, but nearly as uncertain as the millions who cannot run.
Honestly, with the time they had and the budget they had, what they created was pretty impressive. Any idiot can kill a man using a semi-automatic rifle, but only a true master can kill a man using only a pair of chopsticks.
The Manger Zone? Ingenious! As a Top Gun fan, I approve! This whole thing was brilliant. I'm amazed at how well the drawings are. They all look just like the people they're portraying. I must admit, when you said some kids' only wish was to survive Putin's war, I teared up. I pray you raise a lot of money for Ukraine. God bless you for doing that.
Only 15k people on RUclips liked the video though. Mind-blowing, i would give it 10/10. But i guess people love Putin so much they would rather dis the video 😏😣 I thought Ukraine had better support from people here.
What an awesome video! That car Biden is driving at the end was actually a real concept built by GM back in the fifties. It was called the Firebird. This production was very clever.
I think the President will see this. And he will laugh along with the rest of us. Cos he's a human being. For a change. ( apologies to Al Franken for borrowing that line without a gratuity ).
...I'm really beginning to wonder if Colbert is working for the US government, with all of this genuine US propaganda. (I don't think Colbert's stupid enough to not see the truth-- that the US, UK and NATO provoked this war, and then repeatedly scuttled peace agreements. Now the Ukrainians are ravaged and freezing, and "yay"?)
Makes your heart heavy to think of all those children in Ukraine whose lives have been turned upside down by the worst Grinch the world has ever seen. Somehow, I don't doubt they'll be singing and celebrating with love like the Who's down in Whoville, but still can't help but have an ache in your heart for them bc of the bad, bad Potato Man Poo-tin
"...is potato." I was waiting for it. Just this week, I met a refugee from Ukraine now living here in Japan with his family. They managed to get out just before the war kicked off in February, and now that he has been able to find a job doing translation, they have been sending back part of his salary each month to help their country. At the time, I was wearing my "The fight is here; I don't need a ride, I need ammunition" sweatshirt; that's why he spoke to me. Слава Україні!
The LSSC writers and animators who created this deserve an Emmy! Funny, yes, but also touching and very true. And OMG, the Tucker Carlson and MTG animations were so spot on. Love it. And I hope the "Is potato" shirts and mugs will earn a good sum for Ukraine. Every penny counts. I live in Western Europe, and the weather here has been brutal the past week. It's been unusually cold: when I go out with my dog I am freezing, but then I come back to a warm house. I can't imagine what the poor people of Ukraine are going through. I pray they will persevere and put a stop to Putin's madness!
I love the way you captured Marjorie Taylor Green's crazy eyes! The potato always makes me laugh. I was expecting Putin to get a ton of coal dropped on him but the potato was better.
That laugh of his is haunting… it’s not natural at all. It’s like he sees “pretend like you know how to laugh” on his prompter and then he does the worst job imaginable because he’s never known how to genuinely laugh in his life My laugh is no prize-winner mind you, but still… his is just wrong

I agree. It would be a rare Christmas song that I could probably stand to listen to more than 2-3 times per year. I've recently developed a very low tolerance for Christmas music.

The incorporation of the running "Is potato" joke into this cartoon was nothing short of brilliant. (Oh, and I appreciate that 45 was absolutely nowhere to be found in it.)
Yeeeep, this animation totally deserves an Emmy or something. Above/below comment is right. Biden totally needs to watch this. This is really what should’ve happened from the beginning I mean, Putin is going to fricking hate this one, considering this is again how he has now forever been immortalised, but it was tooootally worth it.😁👌🏼😎 BTW, everybody if you can, please donate to World Central Kitchen to help feed the people of Ukraine
The part from 7:53 is actually touching when you remember how many children have much worse Christmas this year than last year because of Putin's war.
Give to World Central Kitchen if you can. Thank you.

The LSSC writers and animators who created this deserve an Emmy! Funny, yes, but also touching and very true. And OMG, the Tucker Carlson and MTG animations were so spot on. Love it. And I hope the "Is potato" shirts and mugs will earn a good sum for Ukraine. Every penny counts.
I live in Western Europe, and the weather here has been brutal the past week. It's been unusually cold: when I go out with my dog I am freezing, but then I come back to a warm house. I can't imagine what the poor people of Ukraine are going through. I pray they will persevere and put a stop to Putin's madness!
I love the way you captured Marjorie Taylor Green's crazy eyes! The potato always makes me laugh. I was expecting Putin to get a ton of coal dropped on him but the potato was better.
I look forward to this every year and this one brought a tear to my eye, I only wish this could actually happen
Russia's hottest boy band is a pile of turnips? I could have sworn... is potato.
EDIT: 9:57 HOLY SHIT, IT IS POTATO! THANK YOU, SANTA! XDDDD
All I want from Christmas.... is potato
@@jattikuukunen : You thought it was Mariah, but no, it's potato!
That was a long walk to the inevitable "is potato" punchline, but totally worth it lol
Thank you for featuring a realistic Tucker Carlson. Missed his manic laugh.
That laugh of his is haunting… it’s not natural at all. It’s like he sees “pretend like you know how to laugh” on his prompter and then he does the worst job imaginable because he’s never known how to genuinely laugh in his life
My laugh is no prize-winner mind you, but still… his is just wrong
When Ukraine block the fresh water supply to their former citizen in Crimea, none of the western media report it. It never be a "Human Rights" issues. But, when it comes to Russia and Qatar, everything is "Human Rights" issues. Same thing currently happen in France right now with their preparation for 2024 Olympics with thousands of undocumented workers working in harsh conditions, what you do or say? Nothing. The hypocrisy of westerners and western medias.
@@mamatboy84 So the west are hypocrites for only caring about some human rights?
Well then what do you call Russia, who cares about no human rights at all?
@@TheMulToyVerse it’s definitely manufactured just like his angry confused baby face is.
We should all send MTG and Tucker a vibrating potato for Christmas.
Nothing say's love like a vibrating potato.
Thanks again, everyone! Not often we get such high quality fun for free!
Biden acting all, Biden
Elf: "How OLD is he?"
Santa: "He's been this way since high school"
Ok, THAT was funny!
🤣
This animation was fantastic to watch. Every person who worked on this, hats off to you guys!
Love Tom cruise being one of the elves……hahaha
Thank you for your continued support to Ukraine ❤❤❤
You know what the best thing about Christmas is? Is potato.
From Helsinki, Finland, the home of Santa ... we all approve this message!
Bitch please, Canada owns the North.
I thought Santa lived here in Canada.🙂
This was the best Christmas cartoon yet… I laughed… I cried… wow.
Damnit I was crying 😢
Pity this can't be released in theaters for consideration for an Oscar in the best animated short category
Let's get Gilgamesh has to be the funniest old person burn I've ever heard 🤣.
I literally want this to be a full length film with collectibles. I want the Rudolph Jet 😆. Too awesome
Always brilliantly funny and SO well written! AND, a good cause! Happy Holidays Stephen & LSSC Crew!
Hello Vanessa! Can I ask you a question?
IS POTATO!!!!
I love the simplicity if this ongoing gag 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Everyone involved in the making of this is my favorite person tonight! : )
Someone really did the research! In the end credits at 11:55 Santa is wrestling with the Russian equivalent of Santa Claus, Ded Moroz (“Grandfather Frost”). Splendid job from start to finish.
Biden pulling up on his bike!😆 Another classic 👍🏼👍🏼
I know they make fun of Trump, Putin but making fun of Biden falling off his bike made me chuckle even though I support Biden over that over guy
Ahhhh. This is the most Christmasy I have felt this holiday season. God bless us, everyone.
One of my favorite Christmas traditions is watching The Late Shows Christmas animation!! They did not disappoint 👏 It was heartwarming, funny and well produced. Bravo to all who worked on this.
This is beautiful. Thank you Stephen and the entire crew for making us remember that anything is possible if you believe.
"What a Borscht-hole!" That's about as rude as Santa is allowed to get, I reckon! 😁
Add this one to the list of cracking Christmas cartoons! 👍✨🤗 Made me laugh out loud and made me cry. Brilliant!
M 🦘🏏😎
Magnificent! Christmas comes to ANY town, regardless of its geography. Top Gun was the correct theme for this year's animation.
This was surprisingly epic and moving
Not surprisingly
@@saar144 Never surprised by the novel work of the LS/SC writing and creative crew. Always delighted.

Yep, this was sooo much more epic than I was expecting.😂👌🏼
These animated Christmas cartoons are getting better every year!
Keep em coming Stephen! Just good stuff 😂
Love this!!! One of the best, Late Show! Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅
That was some production man. I think this could become its own little Christmas movie. I’d pay for this.
Highway to the Manger Zone should be released as a single!!
"Martha!" (Mrs. Claus' name is Martha too) "Something new to slip into the holiday music mix!"
I agree.
It would be a rare Christmas song that I could probably stand to listen to more than 2-3 times per year. I've recently developed a very low tolerance for Christmas music.
"I'm made of children's dreams, be-otch!"
I love Christmas specials where Santa is a badass.
Nice cameo by Kenny “Yule” Loggins.
I laughed. I gasped. I teared up. That was beautiful. That was art. Thank you!
This is just so funny! Love you Stephen and the Late Show crew.
I love it, "Santa's made of children's dreams".
Absolute perfection. Zero notes. You guys frigging nailed it. 👍👌
Absolutely brilliant work, Merry Christmas and Slava Ukraine!
This was fantastic, a huge round of applause to everyone involved!
Out of the park once again! Got shirts coming for me & hubs. Love WCK. Love to all at Late Night! Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
Tom Cruise as an Elf had me dying!
as an elf? that's just Tom Cruise
This was well done. They got all emotions included.
I can't get over it. Kenny Yuleloggings. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
'He's been this way since high school' 😂
Tom cruise is an elf was hilarious
Fantastic, epic. I hope this gets viral in every country around the world.
Love the development of the history of Santa & Biden's relationship!!
On the 10yr anniversary of these, I'll need a full length feature film please!!
Fabulous cartoon! Well done. Funny but delivers a wonderful message for Ukraine

This is awesome, holy crap emotions flying while watching this epic, great freaking job!!!
Santa and Biden make quite a team. Bravo!!!
This is truly a Christmas miracle, what a masterpiece!
Merry Christmas Stephen and thank-you for all the smiles this past year. I also got my order in and I'm looking forward to wearing the shirt proudly and thank-you for always thinking of others.
This is a Christmas classic!
I can't stop watching on repeat!
Excellent work! So funny!
Please do t forget to support Ukraine this Christmas and Orthodox Ukrainian Christmas January 7th.
Slava Ukraini!
💙💛
They should make this into a TV series or movie on Paramount+
@@terranova1203 I second that and be out on DVD/Blu-Ray!
Peabody, Emmy, Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, more gold stars than my kindergarten teacher ever had, you can have my tetherball trophy.....DAMN!!!!
That was brilliant, and strangely moving as well... I had a lump in my throat by the end... Weird! :D
Such satirical fun! My sincere thanks to all who worked so hard on this goofball feature. May you and yours have a healthy and Happy Holiday Season! Be well!
Is potato! A golden potato. Thanks to the crew that put this together.
This was so worth the wait, lol. The cracks about Biden's age citing much older conflicts/cultures/etc had me rolling.
Is it weird that I teared up at several point in this video? Great work guys!
That Tom Cruise elf that they slide in around 5:18 was a good placement.
Particularly clever this year! My compliments to the writers and performers.
Made me cry, beautiful
The incorporation of the running "Is potato" joke into this cartoon was nothing short of brilliant.
(Oh, and I appreciate that 45 was absolutely nowhere to be found in it.)
Haha Peter Stormare as Putin is some inspired casting ;) Great work again as always!
Yeeeep, this animation totally deserves an Emmy or something. Above/below comment is right. Biden totally needs to watch this. This is really what should’ve happened from the beginning I mean, Putin is going to fricking hate this one, considering this is again how he has now forever been immortalised, but it was tooootally worth it.😁👌🏼😎
BTW, everybody if you can, please donate to World Central Kitchen to help feed the people of Ukraine
